The Durban-based freight and shipping major, Grindrod, is working on the expansion of its coal terminal in Richards Bay.



The company told Bloomberg that it will add 4.5 million tonnes a year of capacity in 2015, growing to 20mt in a second phase.

The terminal is finalising a partnership “very soon” with Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), he added.
